Chapter 708 Destiny Church (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
Lambeth District, Destiny Church.

On Friday Mass, the church gathered a large number of believers. Bishop Fowler, dressed in a white bishop's robe, stood on the podium, looked at the devout believers with a smile, and started the day's prayer.

"He said that life should have a trajectory, so human beings have a destiny"

"He said that life should have value, and man has wealth."

"He said that life should have an end, and after the end, you will be reborn, so destiny has an end"

The believers closed their eyes and listened silently to the content of the teachings. They had already memorized these, but every time they listened, they had different perceptions.

Especially in the church, under the majestic statues, piety has a home and faith can be sublimated.

The mass lasted from noon to evening, which was actually a physical effort. Bishop Fowler's voice was hoarse, and he had to sit on a chair to explain the second half. He was old, and even if he didn't have any illness, his energy was not as good as before. up.

“Old is really old”

Just when Bishop Fowler was lamenting that his age was too young, a servant in black hurried into the room, leaned into his ear and said, "Bishop, Senator Donnel wants to see you."

"Donal"

Bishop Fowler said 'hmm': "Take him to the Chamber of Secrets, Ernest."

"As ordered."

The servant in black is Ernest, who followed Father Satuk in New Rose City. Since Father Satuk was killed in the bombing, Bishop Fowler, who thought Ernest was quite alert and malleable, took him By his side, Ernest followed him when he returned to London this time.

After a while, Ernest led Mr. Donnel to the secret room. There were no windows everywhere, and it was a narrow and lonely room. The dim light illuminated the pale face of Bishop Fowler.

"Bishop Fowler."

Senator Donnel took off his hat, and within half a month, his hair was much grayer, and his appearance was older than before, with a sad expression.

"Mr. Donnel, sit down." Bishop Fowler pointed to the bench beside him and said, "You should understand that the Pope doesn't like to see clergy and government officials mixed together. We belong to two systems and shouldn't Make peace."

"Yes, yes, I know, but I really can't help it."

Senator Donnel, who was sitting down, clutched his fedora tightly. Today he was dressed plainly with a scarf on, just not wanting to be discovered by others.

"Bishop Fowler, now Nicholas' approval rating has surpassed mine, reaching 64%! And I"

Councilor Donnel smiled wryly: "The approval rate is less than 30%."

Half a month ago, Congressman Donnel was still a popular figure in the general election, but in the past half a month, the situation changed suddenly, and Ma Wei rose against the trend. Starting from planting potions in the small town of Baconsfield, his approval rate soared. No power to parry.

Hearing that Donnel really came for the election, Bishop Fowler already had the intention of chasing away the guest, but for the sake of the prince, he still expressed relief: "Nicholas von Manstein There are many forces behind him, it is normal that you are not his opponent."

"I can only ask for your help!"

Councilor Donnel begged: "Bishop Fowler, only you can save me now! If you are willing to appeal to the believers to support me, then I still have a chance to overtake!"

"Mr. Donnel, it's not that I don't want to help, but that Nicholas' status is too important. He is the potion dealer of the church! His status is second only to the archbishop! Do you know what this means?"

"I know. As long as he wants, he can join the College of Cardinals at any time and participate in the decision-making of the high-level church."

"That's right! The College of Cardinals! Although Nicholas is only an observer now, he already has the right to express his opinions!" Bishop Fowler said emotionally: "How old is he this year? Less than 30! A cardinal who is less than 30 years old! Throughout the history of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny, there are only five of them!"

There was one more thing that Bishop Fowler didn't say.

Among the five cardinals under the age of 5 including Mavi, two became popes and two became archbishops.

as the 5th.
Bishop Fowler dared not think further.

This is simply the successor of Archbishop Brandon, okay? !

against this guy
Absolutely unwise!
"But Bishop Fowler, you just said that the Pope doesn't like to see clergy and government officials mix together. Nicholas violated the rules!"

"First of all, strictly speaking, Nicholas von Manstein is not a priest, he just joined the church, but his status is no different from that of a believer, and he is not bound by the rules of the church. The reason for becoming a cardinal."

Bishop Fowler sneered: "Secondly, people are different from each other. Ordinary cardinals can't do it because of the rules of the church. Nicholas is not necessarily. He is now in charge of the potion business, and his status is in the sky. The Pope will be here. Are you going to punish him for this?"

Senator Donnel was silent.

He lowered his head in despair, staring at the candle in front of him in a daze.

Bishop Fowler refuses to help him, the election is coming to an end, and even the last hope is lost
If he can't win the seat of the councilor, he will become the eldest prince's abandoned son
Is there anything scarier than this?
"Go back, Congressman Donnel." Bishop Fowler issued the order to evict the guest: "Accept the reality, some people are born different from us, this is fate, you have to admit it."

Senator Donnel stood up in a daze, walked out of the secret room with two uncontrollable legs.

Bishop Fowler was not in a hurry, he sat quietly in the secret room and waited for Senator Donnel to leave the church, if Ernest hadn't come running in with a letter.
"Bishop, a letter from the Archbishop of Camberley!"

"Ok?"

Bishop Fowler raised his eyebrows, reached out to take the letter from Ernest, pulled out the letter paper, and looked at it intently.
"Go and call Senator Donnel back."

"Yes!"

Ernest turned and ran out of the gate, called to stop Mr. Donnel who was about to leave the church, and dragged him back to the secret room.

"Mr. Donnel, have you figured it out yet?"

"Thought it out?" Councilor Donnel, who was confused and didn't know what happened, asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Just now, I was just testing you."

Bishop Fowler smiled calmly: "Obviously, you already understand the consequences of losing the election, and you will definitely do your best next, right?"

"."

"You said that you are at the end of the road, but I don't think so, at least I will help you as much as I can."

"Bishop Fowler, that's not what you said just now"

"Just now, just forget about it."

"Then you really want to help me?"

"It's true."

Representative Donnell's eyes lit up a little bit, he saw hope again, and said excitedly: "With your help, I will definitely be able to defeat Nicholas!"

Bishop Fowler nodded with a smile and told Ernest to send Senator Donnel away.

When Ernest came back, he found that Bishop Fowler's face was watery and his eyes were frighteningly cold.

"Bishop, are you unwell?"

"This is nonsense!"

Bishop Fowler slapped the table, the candle fell and went out, and the secret room fell into darkness in an instant, only the light from outside the door remained: "Does the Archbishop of Camberley know what's going on now? How dare he support Donnel at this juncture?" MP!"

Ernest re-lighted the candles, closed the door of the secret room, and those who were interested in the province heard Bishop Fowler's angry words: "Did the Archbishop ask you to help Senator Donnel?"

"He gave me this order." Bishop Fowler folded the letter carefully, put it in his arms, and planned to keep it safe: "In the current Church of Goddess of Destiny, he is the only one who will oppose Nicholas von Manstein. Already!"

Archbishop Camberley has been targeting Marvey since he ran for the potion dealer. The reason is simple. Marvey is the person chosen by Archbishop Brandon. If Marvey gets the supremacy, Archbishop Camberley will There is absolutely no hope of being promoted to Pope.

Only by slandering Mawei and making him irreparable can Archbishop Brandon be disqualified from competing for the position of Pope as peacefully as possible.

As for how long Ubly I can sit in this position is not a question that the Archbishop of Camberley needs to consider at present.

Wasn't the last pope assassinated?

The key is who is eligible to succeed the pope after the death of the pope.

If the Archbishop of Camberley wants to fight, he has to play tricks on Ma Wei. If Ma Wei is left alone, let him develop and grow, gain a firm foothold in the church and London, and even government officials and the king have taken refuge in him. Then the situation is really bad.

To prevent Ma Wei from entering the Congress is to prevent the second prince and stabilize government officials, which is very important.

However, in Bishop Fowler's eyes, the next pope would be his turn. Although the matter that Archbishop Camberley considered was related to him, he would never take the risk of being punished!
Councilor Donnel wanted to ask him for help, but Bishop Fowler would definitely refuse!

However.
The Archbishop of Camberley asked Bishop Fowler to assist MP Donnell at all costs.

At all costs. It's ridiculous.

Whose price was sacrificed?

Not even Bishop Fowler himself!

The Archbishop of Camberley wrote a letter, chanting slogans, and he is going to put his future on the line?

Why!
Bishop Fowler put away the letter, ready to use it as 'evidence' at the necessary moment, either to threaten the Archbishop of Camberley, or to exonerate himself!

But then again, the Archbishop of Camberley is his immediate boss, and this time he returns to London, it is the operation of the Archbishop of Camberley. If he doesn't obey the order, he probably has to go back to the countryside in New Rose the next day to eat Ash
Now that you have climbed up, there is absolutely no way to go back!

Bishop Fowler has made up his mind. Right now, he has only one way to do his best to assist Mr. Donnel. If he can win the general election, everyone will be happy, but if he can't.
This letter came in handy.

Archbishop Camberley is not an idiot either, he knows that he does not need to write a letter, but if he does not write a letter and only delivers a message, Bishop Fowler will most likely not obey his order.

Of course, it is no problem to transfer Bishop Fowler from London, but the general election is coming to an end. If Bishop Fowler is transferred away, who will succeed him?
Can a successor be as charismatic as Bishop Fowler?

Considering these factors, only by giving Bishop Fowler a reassurance can he be obedient.

The reassurance is this handwritten letter.

"Bishop, the general election will end at 5:[-] p.m. next Wednesday, and the last mass before that has been completed today. How can we gather the believers?" Ernest asked.

The mass day is fixed and cannot be held arbitrarily, let alone the trick of "sit on your knees all night to get enlightenment from the gods"
why?
Because there is a God.

"Ernest, you convey a message to the believers, just say that on Sunday morning, Bishop Fowler is willing to baptize children under the age of 16 for free at the Destiny Church to keep them away from the sick."

"This is really a clever plan!"

Ernest immediately understood Bishop Fowler's meaning: "Most of our believers are families with children. Who doesn't want their children to grow up healthily? If they are summoned in the name of baptism, many people will definitely be attracted!" "

"The church is like a business. We have to understand who our audience is, and prescribe the right medicine, so the effect will be better."

"Yes!"

the other side.
Nightingale Club.

"Benjamin, under our operation, your approval rate in Bromley District has reached 71%. The other two candidates are completely unable to compete with you. It is already a certainty that you will become a member of the House of Commons."

The eldest prince raised his glass to Ma Wei who was sitting opposite, and smiled, "Congratulations."

"Without your help, eldest prince, how could I have achieved what I am today?"

Mavi responded with a toast: "I really don't know how to repay you."

"You just need to win over the representatives from the north to support me." The eldest prince smiled and said, "I will train you to become the leader of the northern party. Don't thank me, you deserve it."

For half a month, Mavi's attention has been mostly focused on the election in Lambeth District, while Russell Benjamin's election in Bromley District has been handed over to Gao Wen. He has done a good job and is conservative. With the help of the party, it is not difficult to become an MP.

Bromley has not yet been merged into London and is currently a suburban town. However, Bromley is included in the plan for the Greater London Autonomous Region. It will not be long before Bromley will become an autonomous region of London.

The eldest prince asked Russell Benjamin to run for the Bromley District Councilor in order to avoid the edge of the Liberal Party and strive to win the seat in the safest manner.

Of course, the eldest prince is not helping in vain. He recommended Russell Benjamin to gain the support of the northern party, and Arthur Benjamin, who represents the West Island MP.
This is a big game. If it succeeds, the Conservative Party will crush the Liberal Party. So what if Nicholas von Manstein becomes an MP?

Most of the votes are still in the hands of the Conservative Party!
In the eyes of the eldest prince, Tang Naer was already an abandoned pawn.

"As one of London's most promising rising stars, Benjamin, I really want to meet the family that has cultivated such outstanding talents as you. I think they must be a well-mannered family of gentlemen. Of course, if you can invite a few familiar MPs , that would be even better."
